WASHINGTON, Jan. 7. In the Senate
today a resolution offered by Stewart
(New) was adopted, directing the com
mittee on the District of Columbia to
make Inquiry regarding the wholesale and
retail prices of coal as the result of fail
ure to ship to "Washington, or whether
there Is any lack of prompt and efficient
distribution among the people.
The resolution of Vest, directing the
finance committee to prepare and report
& bill removing the duty on coal, went
over until tomorrow on motion of Aldrlch,
Vest not being present today.
The militia bill then was taken up and
Mallory spoke in opposition to the pro
vision regarding a reserve force of trained
men. In the course of his remarks, a dis
cussion arose, participated in by Tillman,
"Warren, Foraker, Spooner and Clay, over
the construction to be put upon the sec
tion, the Democrats contending that tho
provision put into the hands, of the Pres
ident powers belonging to the states.
Quay as au Objector.
At 2 o'clock the militia bill was dis
placed by the statehood bill. Beveridge
then made the point of no quorum, ne
cessitating a rollcall. A quorum being
found to be present, Beveridge sent to
the desk and had read a number of res
olutions favoring single statehood for
Oklahoma and Indian Territory. Quay
criticised the resolutions, and said the
single statehood bill to which they re
ferred was not before the Senate, having
been withdrawn, and therefore they had
acted unlntelllgently.
"You have done away with your bill,"
Bald he, addressing Beveridge.
He said parties attending the conven
tion which drew up the resolution had
masqueraded as a representative conven
tion of the people of Oklahoma, whereas
it was a convention of the advocates of
the Nelson, or single statehood bill.
Responding, Beveridge declared that the
observations of the sub-committee which
visited Oklahoma and Indian Territory
were that a vast majority of the people
favored single statehood.
Bate (Tenn.) had read the resolutions
of the Five Civilized Tribes, opposing
statehood with Oklahoma.
A discussion followed regarding the
character of the people constituting the
Five Civilized Tribes, in the course of
which Tillman Inquired how the pure

Tillman on Matrimony.
"Some stealing has been 'done some

He later amused the Senate by Interro

dian women." ,
Beveridge responded that he had not
gone Into the matrimonial phase of the
question.
After further -discussion, Nelson re
sumed his remarks in opposition to the
omnibus statehood bill. Nelson had not
concluded when, at 4 P. M.t the Senate
went into executive session and adjourned
shortly thereafter.
CONSIDERS CUBAN TREATY.
Senate Committee "Will Hear Beet
Sugar Men Against It.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 7. The Cuban rec
iprocity treaty was considered at some
length today by the Senate committee on
foreign relations, but action upon It was
postponed in order to afford an opportun
ity for the presentation of the views of
the beet-eugar industry.
It Is probable that epeclal meetings will
be held on Friday for that purpose. There

clusion that the treaty will be favorably
reported, and without any great delay.

FIRST STAGE OF CATARRH
A SERIOUS MISTAKE WHICH
THOUSANDS ARE MAKING.
The first stage of catarrh is what Is
commonly known as "catching cold." It
may be In the head, nose, throat or lungs.
Its beginning la sometimes so severe as
to cause a chill and considerable fever,
or it may be eo slight as to not hinder a
person from his usual business. In per
haps a majority of cases little or no at
tention Is paid to the first stage of ca
tarrh, and hence It is that nearly one
half of the people have chronic catarrh
in some form.
To neglect a cold is to invite chronic
catarrh. As eoon as any one discovers
the first symptoms of catching cold he
should at once begin the use of Peruna

APPROPRIATION FOR ARMY.
House Committee Proposes to Spend
Seventy-Two Million.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 7. The House
committee on military affairs today con
cluded the preparation of the Army ap
propriation bill, which will carry an ap
propriation of 572,538,337. about 5o.030.000
less than the estimate. The appropriation
last year was 531,216,636.
Provision Is made for the mustering out
of the Porto Rican Provisional Regiment
on July 1 next, the soldiers to receive two
months traveling pay; also that soldiers
qualifying as expert riflemen shall receive
51 extra pay per month; also to authorize
the Secretary of War to accept 510,000
from the Daughters of the Revolution for
the erection of a memorial building for
the physical and moral welfare of the en
listed men at such military posts as the
Secretary of War may direct.
Some of the principal items in the bill to
be reported are as follows:
Pay of officers, $5,OGO,0& pay of enlisted
men, 59,000.000; Hospital Corps, 5750,400;
pay of retired officers, 52,171.550; pay of
retired enlisted men, 5724,327; additional
pay for officers and enlisted men serving
on foreign stations, 5700,000; Philippine
scouts. 5670.160; subsistence. 57.000.000; quar
termaster supplies, 55,000.000; incidental ex
penses. Quartermaster Department, 52,200.
000; barracks and quarters, 54,750,000; bar
racks and quarters in Philippines. 5500,000;
transportation, 515,700,000; clothing and
according to directions on the bottle,
and the cold Is sure to pass away
without leaving any bad effects.
Unless thlfl Is done the cold is almost
sure to end in the second stage or ca
tarrh, which Is making eo many lives
miserable. If Peruna was taken every
time one has a cold or cough, chronic
catarrh would be practically an un
known disease.
Miss Elizabeth Uber, No. 57 Baesett
street, Albany, N. Y., writes:
"I have, always dreaded unsettled
weather because of my extreme liabil
ity to catch cold, when a catarrhal
trouble would quickly develop through
my entire system, which it would take
weeks to drive away. I am thankful
to say that since I have taken PE
RUNA I do not have any reason to
dread this any more. If I have been
at all exposed to the damp, wet or
cold weather, I take a dcee or two of
PERUNA, and It throws out any hint
of sickness from my system." Miss
Elizabeth Uber.
Mrs. M. J. Brink, No. 820 Michigan ave
nue. St. Joseph. Mich., writes:
"This past Winter during the wet and
cold weather I caught a sudden and se
vere cold, which developed a catarrhal
condition through my entire system, and
so affected my general health that I was
completely broken down, and became
nervous and hysterical and unfit to su
pervise my home. My physician pre
scribed for me, but somehow his med
icine did me no good. Reading of PE
RUNA I decided to try It After I had
taken but three bottles I found myself in
fine health." Mrs. M.'J. Brink.
Sibyl A. Hadley, "ifTilaln street. Hunt

getting my feet wet I began to cough,
which gradually grew worse until my
throat was sore and raw. Ordinary rem

FAVORS ARBITRATION TREATY
Result of Pan-American Conference
Reported 'to Senate.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 7. The Senate
committee on Foreign Relations today au
thorized Senator Lodge to report favor
ably the general International arbitration
treaty recommended by the Pan-American
conference held at the City of Mexico
last Winter. The treaty is on the lines of
The Hague treaty, but applies only to the
republics of the Western Hemisphere. The
opinion was quite general that favorable
action upon the agreement at this time
by the United States would have a good
effect upon the settlement of the differ
ences between Venezuela and the Euro
pean creditors of that nation.
By the treaty the contracting parties
obligate themselves to submit to the de
cision of arbitrators all controversies that
may exist among them and which diplo
macy cannot settle, provided that in the
exclusive Judgment of any of the Interest
ed nations the controversies do not affect
the national honor. The treaty provides
that when both parties to a controversy
can agree to refer the question In dispute
to The Hague tribunal, it shall be so re
ferred, but that otherwise it shall be re
ferred to a special court. In case a spe
cial tribunal is created it is to consist of
three members.
There la also a provision to resort to
mediation In case of a conflict which
promises to lead to war. and in this con
nection the right to offer mediation is
specifically set forth. Tho provision on
this point is as follows:
"The right to offer good offices or me
diation belongs to powers who are strang
ers to the conflict, even during the course
of hostilities. The exercise of this, right
shall never be regarded by either of 'the
contending parties as an unfriendly act.
The part of the mediator consists In
reconciling the opposing claims and ap
peasing the feelings of resentment which
may have arisen between the states at
variance.
AThe functions of the mediator are at
an end when once It Is declared, either, by
one of the parties to the dispute or by the
mediator himself, that the methods of
conciliation proposed by him are not ac
cepted." A commission of inquiry is authorized
In disagreements arising on questions of
fact.
An Interesting fact In connection with
the proposition of the" treaty Is that the
Venezuelan representative In conference
refused, -on instruction from his govern
ment, to participate In the formulation
of the document
TO EXPEDITE TRUST SUITS.
Bill Introduced by Hoar and Little
flcld Given Them Preference.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-Senator Hoar
today introduced a second trust bllL It
provides especially for the expediting of
suits In equity brought under the provi
sions of the present anti-trust law. It
authorizes the Attorney-General of the
United States to file a certificate In any
such case pending In any Circuit Court of
the United States to the effect that the
case Is of general public importance. A
copy of the papers in the case Is then to
be given to each of the Circuit Judges of
the court, and It Is thereupon to be given
precedence of any other case and to be
arelgned for hearing at the earliest prac
ticable moment.
Representative LIttlefleld Introduced the
same bill in tho House.
Tho bill was introduced for the purpose
of carrying out the suggestion of Attor

NEITHER !"WOLCOTT NOR TELLER
CAN" BE SENATOR,
Antl-Wolcott Republicans Combine
With. Democrats to Orjrnnlre
Denver Contest Withdrawn.
DENVER, Jan. 7. After six hours, of
balloting, during which the division of
the vote of the Republican members, who
are In the majority, made the election of
a Speaker impossible, the lower House of
the Fourteenth General Assembly this
evening effected a compromise organlza
tlon. During the balloting this afternoon
the vote stood 17 each for the Wolcott
and anti-Wolcott candidates and 31 for
the Democratic candidate. Late In the
afternoon a combination was formed be
tween the anti-Wolcott Republicans and
the Democrats, which resulted In the
election of J. B. Sanford, of Douglas
County, as Speaker; John F. Vivian, of
Jefferson County, chief clerk; C. H. Plum
mer, of Lake County, sergeant-at-arms.
and A. E. Ryons, of Denver, first assist
ant sergeant-at arms. All these are anti
Wolcott Republicans, except Lyons, who
Is a Democrat.
It Is said, although the statement is de
nied, that the agreement gives the Re
publicans practically all the patronage of
the House, but assures their scats to the
11 Democratic Representatives from Den
ver. It is claimed that the other Demo
crats whose election la contested will be
unseated, in which case the Republicans
will have a majority of one on Joint bal
lot. Under present conditions It Is re
garded as certain that neither ex-Sen
ator E. O. Wolcott nor Senator H. M,
Teller can be elected to the United States
Senate, and It Is predicted that no elec
tlon can be reached at the present ses
sion of the Legislature.
As soon as the organization was com
pleted, the House adjourned until tomor
row at 2 o clock.
The State Senate met at noon with Lieu
tenant-Governor D. C. Coates in the
chair. A committee on credentials was
appointed. This committee reported that
the Secretary of State had given -certlfl
cates to 26 Senators, IS as hold-overs and
IS elected at the last election. This is
one more than the number allowed by
the constitution, and the committee asked
for more time In which to consider the
matter. The Senate thereupon adjourned
until tomorrow afternoon.
The trouble comes from the redisricting
of the state by the last Legislature, which
did not take properly Into consideration
the hold-overs, and created conflicting dis
tricts.
FOR C03IPULSORY ARBITRATION.
Remedy for Strikes Proposed by
Governor Odcll to LeKlsIntnrc.
ALBANY. N. Y., Jan. 7. In his message
to the Legislature, which convened here
today. Governor Odell, In referring to the
relations between capital and labor, said
"I believe that wherever the necessaries
of life are Involved In dispute between era
ployero and employes, power should be
conferred upon those affected to apply to
the courts for relief and that no power
should be possessed by either capital or
labor to deprive the people of that which
Is necessary for their welfare, but that
ample authority should be lodged in the
Judiciary properly to enforce Its mandates
and that such disputes, whenever they
arise, should not be permitted to inter
fere, with those rights which are para
mount and necessary for the well-being
of the people. Proper legislation, there
foret should be accorded for this arbltra
tion, cither by amendment or by enact
ment of new lcnislntlon."
The franchise tax, the Governor asserts
Is inequitable and a source of annoyance
and constant litigation. The only way of
assessing such corporations, he contends
Is upon their earning capacity. Contin
uing, the Governor says:
"It appears to me that. In providing
new revenues, new advantage should be
taken of a more liberal mortgage tax and

Concerning the Tsatlonal Guard ana

There have been Instances in the state
when employers have discharged employes
because of their connection with tho Na
tional Guard, notably in the case resulting
from the Brooklyn railroad strike. Cer
taln labor unions now deny their privileges i tlon doing business within the state should
because of membership In the National be required to file an annual report with
Guard. This la a blow at constitutional the Secretary of State to enible Interest
government. The law, at present, Is in- ed parties to obtain all proper lnforma-
adequate to meet this condition and It
should be vour duty to correct It by
amendment. I believe that whatever tends
to lessen the patriotism of our people la
out of harmony with republican govern

Governor of Connecticut Favors
Regulation of Corporations.
HARTFORD, Conn., Jan. 7. In his an
nual message to the General Assembly to
day. Governor Chamberlain suggested
that every corporation organized under
the laws of Connecticut and any cornora-
tlon.
"No law," he said, "should find a place
upon the statute books of the state which
permits the creation of stocks, bonds or
other forms of securities, except they
represent the cash or full capital value.
Combinations of men or corporations to
secure unfair prices for the necessaries
of life should not be tolerated. The policy
of the, state should be to encourage and
protect all legitimate business enterprises
which, will furnish our people with a
market for labor."
